Warm Fellowship Gets 5 Star Hygiene Rating
In July 2025 the Food Hygiene inspector told us that we needed to repair some infrastructure in the kitchen and do some more paperwork if we wanted the highest rating for food hygiene. After a lot of hard work by Louise, Robert and the wider team a 5 star rating has been achieved on 14th October 2025. Well done to all the team, most of whom are now trained in allergens. So, be assured that we aim not only to look after your soul, but also your body!

An update from Dave in January 2025:
The original article in November 2024
Here I am sleeping outside with just corrugated card, plastic bags and my own ingenuity to protect me from the elements.
And you are doing this out of choice “More fool you !”
But, stop and think – why?
How many times have we walked around our local shops and streets and seen youths doing this same thing – but – because they don’t have the option.
So for one night, braving the cold and discomfort, I was there to raise awareness and vital funds for young people facing homelessness. It was tough, but nothing compared to the challenges so many face daily.
A thank you to everyone who has supported me so far – your generosity means so much. If you’d like to help, there’s still time to donate:

Or see me in person at Beacon Church.
And a final thought from Dave: “The best vitamin for a Christian is B1 🙂
